About Doug Lowe (Australian politician)
Douglas Ackley Lowe AM (born 15 May 1942) was the 35th Premier of Tasmania, from 1 December 1977 to 11 November 1981. His time as Premier coincided with controversy over a proposal to build a dam on Tasmania's Gordon River, which would have flooded parts of the Franklin River. The ensuing crisis saw Lowe overthrown as Premier and resign from the Labor Party, acting as an independent for the remainder of his political career. Born in Hobart, he was a former electrician by trade. He is married to Pamela June Grant and has four children, two sons and two daughters. At the age of 35 years and 200 days, Lowe was the youngest person ever to become Premier of Tasmania.
